The award ship is ... I will put this as kindly as possible ... bad. If it was the ship of some pirate prince who took captured parts of ships and welded them together I might say ok. I don't post often but I have to say "What were you thinking?" I hope you offer a different option as well.
Realize there are quite a few Lifetimer's who have Liberated Borg Character's and this might be a nice addition for them, not to mention several of the traits, kits, gear, and items in it can in fact be very useful--regardless what some initially believe.
So, with only 4 days left to go? Yep, they could've done a much better job building up to it.
I wholeheartedly agree. In my mind, I had built up 10th Anniversay to be a momentous, gloriously festive event, where we all rejoice in tens years of STO. Still could be the case, though; but indeed, let it be more than just a 6,000 Zen ship bundle.
I think the 5 keys are actually the 1st day reward, and that the free uniform (which was still claimable today) is just a temporary giveaway that happens to coincide with the usual 5 days of freebies up to the actual anniversary.
Clever Cryptic... free keys to lure those who have resisted the lockboxes into opening them, thus getting them over that initial reluctance to open them...just like the 'free' roll you get on most gacha games on mobile when starting
In the Zen store, underneath the mini map, at the bottom there is a promotions tab. You can claim it there.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Well, with the 5 keys i got a T6 box, so i'm happy... dunno what ship i'm going to choose, but thanks for the gift!
Lucky man. Got some trash and a temporal duty officer box.
Lobi are useful though, but i haven't decided where i will spend the 50 lobi i gathered on.
Thinking about the hur'Q resonant ground weapon, but haven't decided yet.

I wish they didn't make the space weapons so expensive. 200 lobi? really?
Would love to make a build with a Corrosive plasma blast mine, but i am not going to pay 200 Lobi for a single character unlock item. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Contractual_Agreement_Set

Ditto, I was just hoping for a trait pack or two(to grab ceaseless momentum for a newer alt), but I certainly didn't mind getting another T6 box.. for free.
So I am going to assume it is giveaways everyday until the 29
The 10th Anniversary Update is coming ever closer, and as is tradition, we want you to walk away with some free stuff! From now until January 29th, there will be a new giveaway every single day! Log in every day to claim something new, and don’t forget to grab our new Starfleet 2399 uniform from Star Trek: Picard as well!
Yeah.
According to Cryptic logic the Uniform was not part of the give away. So according to them the keys are for day one.
Whatever works for them and us i guess. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

The free uniform is a separate event that will be up for an unspecified length of time.

Honestly, i was for the lobi, my odds where low for a T6, so it came as a nice surprise... still dont know if put a ship on sale, wait for the update and get the D7 when the infinity gets refreshed...

I was ingame just after noon Central time and it was in the store then. That must be when the old giveaway ends and the new begins, at least for me, since I'm two hours ahead of Cryptic's stated times.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.
Things like universal tech upgrades are gonna pretty much be the norm, what with all the haters over the years claiming some of the giveaways don't fit their faction...
Just be happy we're getting something! I know I am...
Thanks and happy anniversary! CM

didn't a few years back they give away a free T5 ship for every char? that was pretty nice, sure it was after T6s where a thing but they where some decent eneugh ships all told. I think rommies got the upgraded dhlan, klingons a updated BoP (or was it a raptor?) and feddies a T5 defiant.
Looking at the characters in the pic that have Holographic Bridge Officers available (through convention/prize codes; mind you Chekov is part of the TOS Holo Boff set that's currently available in the Mudd's Market), I'm hoping they'll be part of the 10th Anniversary giveaway

5 free keys is still very nice regardless.

As was said, in the C-Store under the promotions tab.
If you're on console, I believe it isn't live yet, scheduled for a bit later on consoles.

Cryptic hyped this X anniversary up pretty well stating numerous times how much they worked on it.
The enjoyment is there I guess, but again so far, the free items & timing all seems pretty routine compared to past anniversaries.
